So long as this and the other regulatory actions on both Sky and BT are taken as part permitting News Corp to get their hands on the other 61% of Sky, and that Virgin's network is opened up on an active and/or passive level I'm cool with it.

Regulation of unbalanced markets is just fine so long as it's not unbalancing them the other way.

EDIT: We have one of the best pay TV packages anywhere, it's also one of the most expensive. There is always a concern however that we the customer will suffer in terms of quality of services in return for receiving them at a lower rate, just as happened with the highly regulated broadband market.
